Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location of the proposal accords with the development plan
  • Whether the proposal would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the rural landscape, including the Kent Downs National Landscape

What decided it

The site's proximity to Kingston and other dwellinghouses on Marley Lane means it is not isolated in the countryside sense, and the modest scale, appropriate design, and careful siting of the holiday unit would not result in harm to the character and appearance of the rural landscape or National Landscape.
